Description
Mengyuan Zhang and colleagues report a 2026 endoscopy case involving a 74-year-old woman who had part of her colon removed for cancer three years earlier. A check found a flat spreading tumor, about 4 by 3 cm, growing inside a blind loop left by her surgery, a spot that is hard to reach and see.
The team cut around the growth and lifted it with injected fluid. They finished the removal underwater, adding an internal traction clip where the tissue base was firmly stuck. The two-hour procedure took the full wall thickness at one point, and the gap was closed with clips in a folded pattern. Tissue study showed an adenoma with early cancer change and clear margins, and she went home on day three without needing more surgery.
